Section 01
Introduction
The Atlas of Ascension is where every Ascension pays off.
It transforms Prestige Points into permanent upgrades that survive every reset.
Section 02
How the Atlas Works
The Atlas is divided into regions, each focused on a different progression theme.
Spending Prestige Points in a region unlocks upgrades that stay with your account across every future run.
Section 03
Prestige Points
Prestige Points are earned when you Ascend and are the sole currency of the Atlas.
They are limited by how far you push each run, so spending them wisely matters.
Section 04
Regions
Each Atlas region groups related upgrades under a shared theme, such as offense or precision.
Regions unlock as you progress and give you meaningful build choices between runs.
Section 05
Unlock Strategy
Focus on one region before branching out β depth compounds faster than breadth.
Once a region's core upgrades are unlocked, expanding into a second region multiplies the value of the first.
Section 06
Long-Term Progression
The Atlas is designed to be filled in across dozens of Ascensions.
Every run funds the next Atlas purchase, and each purchase makes the next run stronger β this is the core Prestige loop.
